Well I got star killer and finished the southeast corner but it turned out I had a few letters off in other clues. Sundays can be a pain. Just too damn big.

I hate it when the NYT crossword does this: Put at least two letters in the space of one square.

By the way, the clue for 6 down is "Artificial Bronze."

I only do the mini. That work in a square thing is whack.

[bachophile]

Rebuses. Yea they can be tricky. I couldn’t get that totally bonkers clue. Craycray? Didn’t know that.
